Default alternator upgrade

evening all,
just wondering if anyone knows or ccan tell me how to find out what rating the alternator is on my 2010 impreza 1.5, as ive had a few times recently that its took a bit to fire up probably because im running a sub/amp and xbox 360 at times but ive also had the low battery warning come on on my inverter while the engines running so i suspect the alternator is in need of an upgrade - or my battery is dying maybe,

any ideas ?

will likely be looking at a split charge system in the future as im going to be majorly going for the whole ICE kit

Scoob dealer will have the specs of the alternator.

I'm not convinced if you need an upgrade, I reckon the alternator will be pretty standard across the range, but I could be wrong.

If you have a PROPER car electrics place nearby, get the battery and alternator checked out.
